A big New Year\u2019s Eve slate in the States, with nine games across the day. There\u2019s a replay of the NBA Cup Final between the Knicks and Spurs, while the Trail Blazers head to OKC off the back of two straight wins.<\/span><\/p>\n

Portland Trail Blazers @ OKC Thunder<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Thunder are deservedly short-priced favourites at home against a Portland side that has been solid of late but remains well below OKC\u2019s level.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the likelihood of a blowout, there\u2019s still value to be found in this contest, including a Trail Blazers big man who has been active off the bench over the past month.<\/span><\/p>\n

LEG 1 – Robert Williams Over 10.5 PR<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Recent form has been highly encouraging for Robert Williams backing up Donovan Clingan in Portland\u2019s rotation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Health has always been the concern, but he\u2019s been impactful in a bench role, playing mid-to-high teens minutes most nights.<\/span><\/p>\n

Williams is averaging 7.5 points and 8.4 rebounds across his last 11 games, clearing this PR line in 10 of those 11.<\/span><\/p>\n

LEG 2 – Shaedon Sharpe 20+ Points<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s been a huge December for the Portland wing, with Shaedon Sharpe averaging 23.5 points per game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Across his 13 games this month, Sharpe has scored 20+ points in 11 of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the Thunder boast one of the league\u2019s best defences, much of the attention is likely to be focused on Avdija, giving Sharpe every chance to hit again.<\/span><\/p>\n

LEG 3 – Jalen Williams 15+ Points<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A steady kicker to round out this SGM. Williams isn\u2019t quite at his peak from last season, but he\u2019s been reliable since returning from injury.<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s averaging 18 points per game across his last 13 outings, clearing 15+ in 11 of those.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Trail Blazers\u2019 defence shouldn\u2019t pose any issues here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Same Game Multi<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Robert Williams Over 10.5 PR \/ Sharpe 20+ Points \/ Jalen Williams 15+ Points = $3.40<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

VALUE BET<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Robert Williams 8+ Rebounds @ $3.45<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Williams is averaging 8.3 rebounds per game across his last 12 outings, clearing 8+ in seven of those games.<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s always been an elite per-36 rebounder, and even with a workload of around 18 minutes, this stat line is well within reach.<\/span><\/p>\n

Williams pulled down nine rebounds in just 19 minutes against the Thunder when these teams met last month.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
